Located on the Isle of Wight in Southern England, Freshwater is a hollow right point break that offers up fast sections perfect for performance surfing and the occasional tube. The waves here are not easy to surf and break for up to 100 meters over a rock bottom.
What are the best surf conditions for Freshwater?
Gets good between chest high and double overhead. We recommend riding a shortboard here. This break is suitable for intermediate and advanced level surfers. The surf here is not the most consistent (4/10) and will have a crew on it when it breaks (7/10). The best winds are from the Northeast. The best swells are from the South, Southwest, and West. Works on a low to mid tide best.
We recommend wearing a 3/2 in the summer when water temperatures rise to 17 degrees. In winter a 5/4 is best when water temps drop to 8 degrees. See the temperature chart below for more data on this.
